Yep, she even said so in her diary.
From the Wikipedia entry about the diary:
Biden recognized that the diary was hers but added that her writings on it had been "constantly distorted and manipulated".[60]
This is the problem of the alternative facts/post truth era. If we wish something is true (why anyone would wish incest is true is beyond me) we believe it is. Context has no place when our feelings are more important than anything else.
Too soon?
This is just because we're so close to the election. There's no way she's the nominee in 4 years.Voters: we don't like Harris as a candidate
DNC:
When does it stop? If every pedo/sleazeball has politocal supporters who just point to past pedos/sleazballs as justification to still get jobs then it will never stop.
It really shocks me that people will support these people for political reasons.

Yeah. What about Nero
The A team....
That’s just Pete.
If the democrats had half a brain, it would be Andy Beshear.
But, they don't.
Newsome would be worse.
Shapiro would probably be ok. I'd prefer Walz but I worry he gets the Pence treatment from the party after the last election. Still, Midwest governors would be far better than someone hailing from either coast.
Whitmer would probably be Harris 2.0. Buttgieg is just another empty suit.
Walz is a moron. Stop with him.
Shapiro is the future.
Shapiro is the future.
Not really. He just plays the nice uncle part really well.
No. He’s a moron. Dump him and move on

Haley raises concerns about Gabbard, RFK Jr. the hill
Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley raised major concerns with President-elect Trump’s decision to appoint former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to his Cabinet.
Haley criticized both picks on her SiriusXM show, “Nikki Haley Live.”
She condemned Gabbard’s comments on Russia’s war on Ukraine and her support of a pardon for Edward Snowden, who leaked U.S. intelligence.
“After Russia invaded Ukraine, Tulsi Gabbard literally blamed NATO, our Western alliance that’s responsible for countering Russia,” Haley said.
“She blamed NATO for the attack on Ukraine, and the Russians and the Chinese echoed her talking points and her interviews on Russian and Chinese television.”
Haley noted that Gabbard — hasn’t changed her stances on foreign affairs and warned that her rhetoric could be dangerous if she is leading the country’s intelligence efforts.
“So now she’s defended Russia, she’s defended Syria, she’s defended Iran, and she’s defended China. No, she has not denounced any of these views. None of them. She hasn’t taken one of them back,” Haley added.
“This is not a place for a Russian, Iranian, Syrian, Chinese sympathizer,” she said, referring to the position of director of national intelligence, which “has to analyze real threats.”
On Kennedy, she said not enough was known about what he could offer to the Department of Health and Human Services.
“He’s a liberal Democrat, environmental attorney, trial lawyer who will now be overseeing 25 percent of our federal budget and has no background in health care,” Haley stated.
“So some of you may think RFK is cool, some of you may like that he questions what’s in our food and what’s in our vaccines, but we don’t know, when he is given reins to an agency, what decisions he’s going to make behind the scenes.”
She instead suggested he serve as a health adviser and urged the Senate to “ask the hard questions to him before we go and approve him.”
However, Trump has proposed using recess appointments for his Cabinet members instead of the traditional Senate confirmations, if necessary.
Many of his picks have sparked controversy, but he has maintained the support of House Speaker Mike Johnson and has scheduled the candidates for private meetings with senators alongside Vice-President elect JD Vance.

It won't stop until people are truly ready to hold their OWN side accountable and it looks like we are nowhere close to that point. We still only want to hold the other side to standards we haven't held our side to in the past and probably won't in the future if history is any indication.
When the other party is back in power the same people charging hypocrisy today will be charging whataboutism then, while the same people charging whataboutism today will be charging hypocrisy then. And round and round we go.
So never.
